Target information Symbol CD55 Full name CD55 molecule, decay accelerating factor for complement (Cromer blood group) Synonyms CR; TC; DAF; CROM Swissprot P08174
Target Background This gene encodes a glycoprotein involved in the regulation of the complement cascade. Binding of the encoded protein to complement proteins accelerates their decay, thereby disrupting the cascade and preventing damage to host cells. Antigens present on this protein constitute the Cromer blood group system (CROM). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. The predominant transcript variant encodes a membrane-bound protein, but alternatively spliced transcripts may produce soluble proteins.
